What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Senior Accounting/Controls role where I can own period-end close, IFRS/Ind AS reporting, and internal controls—partnering cross-functionally in a fast-paced multinational environment, with room to drive automation and process improvements.

I’m a results-driven Chartered Accountant with 5+ years of progressive experience in financial management, strategic planning, books closing, budgeting, financial reporting, and both internal and statutory audits. I strengthen internal control frameworks and improve reporting processes through automation, while ensuring accuracy and compliance with Group IFRS and local Ind AS regulations.

In my current role as Senior Accounting Expert for South Asia Market at Tetra Pak India Pvt. Ltd., I lead month-end/quarter-end/year-end close activities, manage intercompany accounting across multi-country set-ups, and deliver MIS and variance reporting to senior management. I also conduct independent internal audits, remediate control gaps, and manage end-to-end statutory audit coordination with Big-4 external auditors, including audit schedules, financial statements, and notes to accounts.
